THs Massachusetts senate has killed
the bill to restrict licenses to sell liquor
to certain ratio to population. In an
earlier stage of the proceedings the same
house allowed Boston one license to every
$50 people, which would give the city l.
600 licenses against $500 actually issued
last year. But when the IN essure came TO
the final passage sufficient number of
the republican senators Joined with the
low license democrats aud the result is the
death of the bill. The arguments against
the bill! were drawn from Boston on
the one hand and small towns on
the other, which at times have a
large visiting population. 1t was urged
in behalf of seaside resorts like Hull.
which has not sesident population of
more than 500, that thirsty excursionists
who went there in summer could not be
appeased by anything but spirits of some
kind, and if these were not Forthcoming
the resorts would have to go out of the
summer resort business. In reality, how
ever, the bill was defeated by the influence
of Boston and the bigger towns, which
used the little-town argument with telling
effect among the rural senators.

A Mysterious Balloon
Phoebe Record


A large balloon passed over this place
at about noon on Friday last. Its height,
as nearly as could be estimated, was
about two miles and its course a little
south of east. The sky being clear at the
tims, it remained visible for upward of
an hour. The appearance of this strange
wanderer of the skies caused deal of ex-
citment, pendent on curiosity as to
where it started from and also it's destina-
ton.
The entire populace of Phoebe, includ-
ing the teachers and pupils of the public
schools turned out en- masse and gazed
long and steadily at the beautiful biect
so gracefully floating under the blue
dome of heaven Many of our grown
people had never seen a balloon, none of
the children had, and SO entranced were
they-both old and younz-at the novel
sight that it was with feeling OF regret
that they beheld the balloon fade away in
the distance until it became merely a
black speck on the easterly hori-
zon and then eventually disappeared from
view.
Their beautiful ethereal dream was
ended and the prosy, humdrum duties of
every day life were again before them.
